Privacy Policy
Al-Hizbul-A'zam (Abridged)
In short: the app does not collect, store or share any personal data. It has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and makes no network requests. Everything it needs (text, fonts, audio) is included inside the app, and everything you change (settings, bookmarks, reminder time) stays on your own device.
What the app stores on your device
The following are saved locally on your phone only, so the app remembers them between launches:
- Your display settings: text size, background colour, Arabic typeface, and whether source references are shown.
- Your bookmarks (which du'as you marked).
- Your reminder setting (on/off and the time of day).
- The last part you opened.
None of this leaves your device. Uninstalling the app deletes it.
Notifications
If you turn on the daily reminder, the app schedules a local notification on your device at the time you chose. This is done entirely on the phone; no notification service, server or push-messaging provider is involved. You can turn it off in the app at any time or through your phone's notification settings.
Permissions
- Notifications – to show the daily reminder (requested only when you enable it).
- Exact alarms (Android 12 and later, optional) – lets the reminder fire at the precise minute you set. If you decline, the reminder still arrives, within a short window of the chosen time.
- Internet – declared by the app framework; the app itself sends and receives no data.
The app does not use the camera, microphone, location, contacts, or files.
Sharing
The Share buttons open your phone's own share sheet so you can send a du'a or a link to the app through whatever app you choose. The app itself does not transmit anything.
Audio and text-to-speech
Audio clips are bundled inside the app. Where a clip is missing, the app may use your phone's built-in text-to-speech engine to read the text aloud; that processing happens on the device, subject to your phone maker's own policies.
Children
The app is suitable for all ages and collects no data from anyone, including children.
Third parties
There are no third-party SDKs, advertising networks or analytics services in the app. The open-source frameworks used to build it (Capacitor and its plugins, SIL and Google fonts) do not collect data.
Changes
If the app ever starts to collect data (for example, if an online feature is added), this policy will be updated first and the change described in the app's store listing.
